Line 48:
Until recently, Halswell was completely separated from the city geographically, but in recent years many new subdivisions have been created to the north of the suburb, creating the new suburbs of [[Oaklands, New Zealand|Oaklands]] and [[Westlake, Canterbury|Westlake]]. These have effectively joined Halswell to the Christchurch urban area. The Halswell area is growing rapidly with subdivisions expanding the residential areas of [[Aidanfield]] to the north east, and The Rocks at the top of [[Kennedys Bush|Kennedy's Bush Road]] to the south, which is on a hill, with the rest of Halswell on the flat ground of the [[Canterbury Plains]].
The centre of the Halswell community is the Halswell School catering for boys and girls from the age of 5 up to 14. In 2011 the roll was 626 students and its decile rating was 10.<ref name="Halswell School">{{cite web|title=Halswell School|url= http://www.tki.org.nz/Schools?school_number=3366&schoolSearch=true&Search=Search |publisher=Ministry of Education|
Halswell has a public swimming pool, library, Catholic, Anglican, United and Baptist churches, a post office with Kiwibank. The [[Halswell Quarry Park]] is a {{convert|60.4|ha|km2}} family orientated park maintained by the [[Christchurch City Council]]. The park features all weather walking tracks, a mountain bike track, dog and horse exercise areas as well as native and exotic planted areas. Although named for this suburb, the quarry is located in the adjacent suburb [[Kennedys Bush]].
